Charles  Wesley  Gallagher,  D.  D. 

President  Maryland  College  for  Women,  Lutherville,  Md. 


jHarplanb  College  for  Women 

LUTHERVILLE,  MD. 


E  WISH  to  present  to  you  for  your  consid¬ 
eration  some  of  the  advantages  of  Maryland 
College,  and  ask  for  a  careful  reading  of  the 
brief  outline  offered  you.  The  letters  from 
parents  and  friends,  received  this  year  and 
accordingly  expressive  of  conditions  as  they  now  exist,  are 
offered  for  the  confirmation  of  the  claims  that  are  made  and 
as  an  assurance  that  promises  will  be  faithfully  carried  out. 
As  the  college  is  one  of  the  oldest  and  most  widely  known 
in  the  East,  and  has  had  an  extensive  patronage  for  many 
years,  not  only  in  Maryland,  Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  West 
Virginia,  New  Jersey,  Delaware  and  other  nearby  states, 
but  also  in  those  more  remote  in  the  East,  West  and  South,  it 
is  not  too  much  to  believe  that  you  will  give  it  your  attention. 


Hocatton. — There  is  much  in  the  location  of  a  school. 
There  are  considerations  of  health,  morals,  social  influence, 
scenery, convenience, city  advantages,  etc.  There  are  schools 
in  the  country,  in  the  small  towns,  in  the  cities — and  near 
the  cities.  These  may  all  have  their  peculiar  advantages, 
but  a  school  located  so  as  to  enjoy  the  pure  air  and  water 
and  large  freedom  of  the  country,  combined  with  the  advan¬ 
tages  of  a  nearby  city,  would  seem  to  have  an  ideal  location. 
City  schools  are  generally  located  on  the  street,  without 
grounds  and  no  room  for  college  sports — hence  no  college 
life — nor  exercise  except  on  the  public  streets.  A  small 
town,  distant  from  the  city,  is  void  of  the  attractions  of 
urban  life,  and  those  intellectually  invigorating  influences, 
and  that  cultured  atmosphere  found  in  and  around  a  city. 
Hence  Maryland  College  is  fortunate.  Suburban  to  Balti¬ 
more,  only  twenty  minutes  by  rail  from  the  city,  with  forty 


daily  trains,  it  enjoys  all  the  city  has  to  offer,  with  the 
health  and  life  of  the  country.  It  is  one  and  a  half  hours 
from  Washington  ;  two  and  a  half  from  Philadelphia:  four 
and  a  half  from  New  York,  and  two  from  Harrisburg — in  the 
midst  of  Eastern  cities.  It  is  elevated  five  hundred  feet 
above  the  Chesapeake,  is  dry  and  healthy. 

)t  Climate  is  mild  and  equable. 

tEf )t  Jfacultp  is  selected  with  care,  and  is  composed  of 
ladies  and  gentlemen  from  some  of  the  best  schools  at  home 
and  abroad  :  Johns  Hopkins,  George  Washington  University, 
Chicago  University,  Paris,  Berlin,  Dresden,  etc. 

Courses!  Of  ^>tubp. — Broad  and  comprehensive  courses 
leading  to  degrees :  A  two  years’  course  for  High  School 
graduates  who  have  had  the  advantage  of  a  full  four  years’ 
course  in  one  of  the  best  high  schools,  leading  to  the  degree 
of  Lit.  B.  Domestic  Science  will  be  taught  the  coming 
year, 

Harge  Putfbmgg,  Campus  of  eleven  acres.  Golf,  Tennis, 
Basket  Ball  and  Hockey.  Special  attention  to  outdoor  sports. 

<&pmnastus!. — Regular  and  special  courses  in  a  well 
equipped  gymnasium. 

JfHutftC. — -Four  •years’  course  in  Instrumental  and  Vocal 
Music.  Four  gentlemen  and  one  lady  give  instruction  in 
this  department  which  is  unusually  strong.  Elocution  and 
voice  culture  under  specialists  from  the  best  schools. 

Jtlobem  Slanguages!  under  foreign  trained  teachers.  Oral 
work  is  done  in  these  languages. 

Culture.— Special  attention  is  paid  to  the  habits,  manners 
and  morals  of  our  pupils.  Regard  is  paid  to  that  important 
element  of  personal  development  that  is  not  found  in  books. 

— The  college  is  neither  too  large  nor  too  small. 
In  the  large  college  the  individuality  of  the  pupil  is  swal¬ 
lowed  up,  lost  in  the  crowd.  She  cannot  come  into  intimate, 
personal  and  confidential  relation  with  teachers,  and  share 
their  wholesome,  refining,  and  moral  and  religious  influence. 
She  is  only  one  of  a  large  body  of  pupils,  and  can  only 
enjoy  the  general  training  and  influence  exerted  en  masse 


on  all.  Moreover,  the  social  life  is  apt  to  be  confined  to  little 
coteries  and  cliques — not  broad,  open,  free  and  elevating. 

If,  on  the  other  hand,  the  school  is  too  small,  the  pupil 
misses  the  healthy,  elevating,  and  buoyant  spirit  which 
comes  from  contact  with  a  goodly  number  of  genial  and 
happy  associates.  The  small  school  is  void  of  life  and  spirit, 
and  becomes  monotonous.  The  pupil  lacks  incentive  to  best 
endeavor.  There  is  little  to  emulate  and  enthuse. 

Our  school  is  the  golden  mean.  It  is  neither  too  small 
nor  too  large.  One  hundred  boarding  pupils — a  happy, 
cheerful  band — living  together  as  a  large,  well  ordered,  well 
regulated  family  ;  each  contributing  to  the  happiness  and 
welfare  of  all  the  rest.  The  social  life  is  a  feature  of  the 
school. 

^cope. — Pupils  come  from  all  directions  and  distances. 
Seventeen  States,  Germany,  District  of  Columbia  and  South 
America  are  represented  this  year.  Distance  should  be  no 
barrier.  Your  daughter  will  do  better  and  be  happier  at  a 
distance  from  home. 

GTable. — Our  table  is  well  supplied  with  abundance  of 
wholesome  food  —  the  best  quality  in  the  market  —  well 
cooked  and  served.  .  , 

_  y-S'D 

Cxpett&g. — These  are  moderate.  $400'  per  year  pays  for 
Board,  Laundry  and  Tuition  in  any  of  the  regular  or  special 
courses.  There  are  no  extras  except  Music,  Art  and  Private 
Elocution  and  the  like — and  no  annoying  fees  to  come  in 
after  you  have  supposed  your  bill  settled.  There  are  other 
advantages,  but  we  cannot  mention  them  here. 

<Progre£& — Great  improvements  were  made  last  summer, 
and  they  will  be  continued  this  summer  More  teachers  will 
be  added,  and  the  courses  will  be  enlarged. 

Special  excursions 

One  of  the  pleasant  features  of  Maryland  College  will  be 
a  carefully  arranged  series  of  excursions  to  the  most  impor¬ 
tant  points  of  interest  that  can  be  easily  reached  from 
Baltimore.  It  is  intended  that  this  shall  not  only  furnish 


recreation  to  the  students  but  provide  them  with  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  become  acquainted  with  localities  that  are  of  great 
historic  significance.  The  expense  will  be  made  as  small 
as  possible,  and  a  perfectly  safe  chaperon  will  be  provided 
on  each  occasion.  It  is  believed  that  the  general  educa¬ 
tional  value  of  these  trips  will  be  appreciated  by  the  patrons 
of  the  College.  The  following  will  be  some  of  the  most 
important  of  these  outings : 

Baltimore.— While  the  college  is  practically  in  Baltimore, 
its  beautiful  streets,  public  buildings  and  monuments,  its 
parks,  libraries,  galleries  of  art  and  museums  claim  attention. 
As  these  all  are  near  at  hand,  small  parties  will  visit  various 
places  at  convenient  times  during  the  year. 

^agfjmgtott  offers  unusual  objects  of  interest.  It  is  so 
rich  in  treasures  of  various  kinds  that  every  American  ought 
to  see  it,  and  at  the  same  time  it  is  so  near  and  convenient  to 
the  college  that  it  may  be  very  readily  reached.  Four  excur¬ 
sions  will  be  arranged,  occupying  a  single  day  each — the 
regular  holiday.  The  Capitol,  Congressional  Library,  Gov¬ 
ernment  Buildings,  Washington  Monument,  Corcoran  Art 
Gallery,  Mount  Vernon,  Arlington  and  the  most  attractive 
parts  of  the  city  will  be  included  in  such  a  way  that  the 
student  will  have  ample  opportunity  to  obtain  an  excellent 
knowledge  of  the  National  Capital. 

Annapolis,  the  Capital  of  Maryland  and  seat  of  the  United 
States  Naval  Academy,  with  its  many  buildings  of  ancient 
grandeur  and  beauty,  is  a  city  of  unusual  interest.  It  offers 
great  attractions  for  a  day,  and  will  repay  abundantly  for 
the  time  spent  in  visiting  it. 

3PI)tlabelpf)ia,  the  Cradle  of  Liberty,  is  so  conveniently 
related  to  Baltimore  by  the  excellent  servdce  of  the  Penn¬ 
sylvania  Railroad,  that  it  is  possible  to  visit  this  interesting 
and  beautiful  historic  city  of  brotherly  love,  and  view  its 
principal  attractions,  returning  the  same  evening. 

(^ettpgbu rg,  the  battlefield  on  which  valor  reached  as  high 
a  point  as  it  ever  reached  in  the  annals  of  the  world,  with 
its  parks  and  monuments,  its  remains  of  battle  lines  and 
critical  points  of  struggle,  forms  a  place  of  increasing 


interest  to  all  Americans.  From  Baltimore  the  trip  extends 
through  some  of  the  most  beautiful  scenery  of  Maryland 
and  Pennsylvania.  A  day’s  visit  to  this  wonderful  spot  will 
be  the  memory  of  a  life  time. 

The  regular  holiday  will  be  used  for  these  trips  and  will 
provide  a  pleasant  variation  to  the  routine  of  college  life. 
Every  means  will  be  employed  to  give  the  largest  and  most 
permanent  value  to  all  of  these  excursions  and  make  them 
an  important  part  of  a  complete  education. 

STnteresting  ^features 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  of  the  beautiful  scenery  in  the 
vicinity  of  Lutherville  and  from  Lutherville  to  Baltimore. 
It  is  like  riding  through  a  magnificent  park,  made  glorious 
by  nature  but  touched  as  well  by  the  hand  of  man.  The  ex¬ 
ceptional  service  on  the  railroad  and  the  character  of  the 
people  who  patronize  the  road,  together  with  the  attractive¬ 
ness  of  the  country,  render  the  visits  of  the  students  to 
Baltimore  both  delightful  and  healthful. 

The  life  of  the  college  is  maintained  and  enriched,  aside 
from  the  work  done  in  the  lecture  and  recitation  rooms,  by 
well  selected  entertainments  that  are  open  to  all  the  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  student  body.  These  have  their  educative  value 
to  a  high  degree  and  at  the  same  time  sustain  a  pleasant 
interest.  There  are  three  classes  of  entertainments. 

Those  belonging  to  the  first  class  are  home  made  and 
consist  of  receptions,  faculty  recitals,  student  recitals, 
dramatic  exhibitions  and  special  occasions. 

A  carefully  selected  series  of  lectures,  concerts,  recitals, 
musical  and  elocutionary,  from  the  best  talent  that  can  be 
found  on  the  American  lecture  platform,  make  up  the  second 
class.  The  past  year  eight  of  these  were  given,  running 
through  a  large  part  of  the  year. 

The  third  class  will  include  all  the  special  opportunities 
offered  in  Baltimore.  During  the  winter  the  Boston  Sym¬ 
phony,  the  opera  and  selected  plays  of  genuine  value  have 
been  both  entertaining  and  educative.  The  best  things  and 
only  the  best  have  been  provided  for  the  students. 


(Opinions  of  patrons 


Maryland  College,  which  was  established  in  1853,  has  been  known 
to  me  for  some  years.  I  have  always  known  that  this  school  was  of 
high  standing  among  educational  institutions.  My  first  personal  experi¬ 
ence,  however,  with  the  college  was  when  I  decided  to  enter  my 
daughter  in  1908,  and  I  am  pleased  to  say  that  in  my  opinion  the  work 
accomplished  under  the  supervision  of  Dr.  Gallagher  is  of  the  most 
excellent  character.  I  thoroughly  appreciate  the  discipline  exercised 
in  pursuit  of  the  studies,  and  I  feel  that  every  effort  is  being  made  to 
promote  the  welfare  and  happiness  of  the  pupils.  Many  improvements 
have  been  made  in  the  school  during  the  year  to  make  it  comfortable 
and  homelike,  and  I  am  sure  the  pupils  as  well  as  the  parents  are 
highly  pleased.

Dr.  C.  W.  Gallagher, 

President  Maryland  College  for  Women, 
Lutherville,  Md. 


January  19th,  1909. 


Dear  Dr.  Gallagher : — The  fact  that  we  have  our  second  daughter 
passing  through  the  course  offered  at  Maryland  College  for  Women, 
within  a  decade,  seems  to  give  me  the  right  to  tell  you  how  much  we 
are  pleased  with  the  work  done  at  the  college.  Am  especially  gratified 
to  mark  the  revival  of  great  mutual  interest,  confidence  and  salutary 
application  during  the  current  scholastic  year.  For  my  estimate  of  the 
association  our  daughters  form,  the  cordially  parental  care  under  which 
they  are  encouraged  to  make  the  best  of  their  excellent  advantages  with 
you,  the  influence  for  great  good  which  is  promoted  by  the  close 
personal  contact  between  the  pupil  and  her  instructors  in  and  out  of  the 
class-room  fostering  the  best  emulation  in  character  building  as  well  as 
intellectual  acquirement,  I  find  mere  words  a  mediocre  instrument  of 
attestation.  The  long,  enviable  history  of  the  institution  and  its  admin¬ 
istration  are  attested  in  many  homes  all  over  this  country,  made  happier 
and  ennobled  by  the  influence  of  “Maryland’s”  alumnae:  and  I  am 
confident  now  that  the  prospect  of  the  enhanced  continuation  of  that 
brilliant  history  is  not  jeopardized,  but  only  more  fully  assured  by  the 
change  in  administration  instituted  at  the  commencement  of  the  present 
scholastic  year. 

May  you  and  the  institution,  so  admirably  fulfilling  the  hopes  of  its 
patrons,  ever  prosper. 

Cordially  yours, 

(Rev.)  H.  A.  Weller,

My  dear  Doctor : — It  gives  me  pleasure  to  testify  to  the  excellency 
of  the  school  over  which  you  preside  and  to  express  my  satisfaction  with 
the  personnel  of  your  faculty  and  of  your  students. 

My  daughter  has  been  happy  and  contented  at  Maryland  College 
and  she  has  made  gratifying  progress  in  her  educational  work. 

Sincerely  yours,

Montrose,  Pa.,  January  19,  1909. 

Dr.  C.  W.  Gallagher, 

My  dear  Sir: — I  wish  to  say  a  word  of  praise  for  Maryland  College. 
I  was  at  your  college  on  the  opening  day,  September  23,  1908.  I  was 
very  much  pleased  with  the  college  and  the  campus.  By  my  daughter’s 
improvement  and  by  what  she  says  I  think  the  character  of  the  work 
and  service  is  of  the  highest  standard.  You  may  refer  any  one  to  me 
in  regard  to  your  college.  Yours  very  respectfully, 

Geo.  C.  Burns. 


Norristown,  Pa.,  January  20,  1909. 

My  daughter  has  been  a  student  at  Maryland  College  during  the  last 
four  years,  class  of  1909.  Her  progress  has  been  most  gratifying  and 
satisfactory.  I  regard  the  college  as  one  of  the  best  institutions  for 
young  women.  Its  management  is  reliable  and  the  institution  is  well 
located.  I  recommend  the  same  to  the  public. 

Very  respectfully, 

Sam’l  E.  Nyce. 


Swedesboro,  N.  J.,  January  21,  1909. 

Rev.  C.  W.  Gallagher, 

Dear  Sir. — I  wish  to  say  for  Maryland  College  for  Women  that  I  am 
much  pleased  with  the  improvements,  also  the  faculty,  since  you  have 
had  charge,  and  would  recommend  it  as  a  very  good  place  to  send  our 
daughters  as  I  am  sure  they  will  receive  good  care  and  attention  and 
instruction  while  there.  Yours  sincerely, 

Joseph  R.  Moore. 


Monroe,  La.,  January  21,  1909. 


Dr.  C.  W.  Gallagher, 

Lutherville,  Md. 

Dear  Sir: — About  your  school — I  am  hardly  yet  prepared  to  judge 
of  results  as  I  have  not  seen  my  daughter  since  I  delivered  her  to 
you  and  Mrs.  Gallagher.  But  I  was  charmed  with  the  location  and  the 
rooms  and  the  natural  scenery  of  which  “not  the  half  has  been  told.” 
My  daughter  is  happy  and  healthy  and  delighted  with  her  teachers  and 
associates  and  much  inspired  and  encouraged  by  her  musical  advan¬ 
tages.  She  has  not  complained  of  being  lonesome  or  disheartened,  and 
these  are  no  small  things  when  a  man  sends  his  girl  so  far  from  home. 

The  proximity  of  the  school  to  Baltimore,  Washington  and  Phila¬ 
delphia  and  yet  its  absolute  home-like  seclusion  are  most  weighty  recom¬ 
mendations.  Altogether,  I  am  decidedly  pleased.  I  feel  sure  that  I 
made  no  mistake  in  selecting  Maryland  College  as  a  safe,  wholesome 
and  stimulating  institution.  Yours  truly, 

A.  A.  Gunby,  [Attorney]. 


Vicksburg,  Miss.,  January  21,  1909. 

Rev.  C.  W.  Gallagher, 

Maryland  College, 

Lutherville,  Md. 

My  dear  Sir: — It  affords  me  pleasure  to  testify  to  the  efficiency  of 
the  work  at  your  college.  My  daughter,  during  her  attendance  for  the 
past  two  sessions,  has  shown  remarkably  good  progress  in  all  her  studies. 
I  heartily  recommend  your  school  to  any  one  desirous  of  sending  their 
daughters  where  they  can  obtain  proper  instruction  and  training — com¬ 
bined  with  a  most  delightful  climate. 

With  my  kindest  regards,  I  remain, 

Yours  very  truly, 

Wm.  B.  Levy.

Sodus,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  5,  1909. 


My  dear  Sir: — My  daughter,  Mabelle  B.  Case,  is  now  in  her  senior 
year  of  your  school,  and  I  feel  that  your  school  is  developing  her  in  all 
ways.  Your  discipline  and  government  have  been  ideal,  and  the  happy 
home  life  of  the  students  is  unexcelled  in  any  school  that  I  know  of. 

It  strikes  me  that  you  are  doing  a  grand  work  in  developing  these 
girls  into  such  useful  women  as  we  expect  them  to  be.  Hoping  that  you 
may  continue  to  be  as  successful  in  the  future  as  you  have  in  the  past 
in  keeping  up  with  the  advanced  education  now  in  demand,  I  am, 

Yours  very  respectfully, 


B.  J.  Case. 


Key  West,  Fla.,  January  21,  1909. 

Dear  Doctor  Gallagher : — Please  accept  my  sincere  thanks  for  your 
many  kindnesses  to  my  daughter  Stella.  I  have  expressed  my  satisfac¬ 
tion  in  having  Stella  in  the  Maryland  College  repeatedly,  and  I  assure 
you  we  are  delighted  with  her  progress  and  her  pleasant,  happy  environ¬ 
ment  at  Lutherville. 

Mrs.  Beehler  recently  paid  Stella  a  visit  at  Lutherville,  and  had  an 
opportunity  of  observing  the  daily  routine  at  the  College.  She  was  im¬ 
pressed  that  everything  was  very  nice.  She  was  pleased  with  the  refined 
character  of  the  scholars  and  painstaking  care  of  the  teachers.  The 
table  is  excellent,  especially  the  bread,  and  we  are  glad  that  Stella  has 
such  a  comfortable  and  happy  home  in  the  college. 

Two  years  ago  we  were  anxious  to  find  a  suitable  school  for  Stella, 
and  after  diligent  study  of  all  we  could  find  we  decided  to  send  her  to 
Lutherville,  and  now  we  feel  that  we  are  to  be  congratulated  on  our  choice. 

Wishing  you  every  success  that  you  deserve  so  well,  I  remain, 

Truly  yours, 

W.  H.  Beehler, 

Commodore,  U.  S.  Navy.

Lutherville,  Md. 

Dear  Sir : — I  express  with  pleasure  my  appreciation  of  the  merits 
of  Maryland  College.  With  full  knowledge  of  its  quality,  1  believe  it 
has  attained  a  high  rank  in  the  field  of  education.  In  its  home  life  and 
its  moral  and  social  influence  it  is  worthy  of  the  highest  praise. 

Very  truly  yours, 

C.  C.  Heller. 


Duluth,  Minn.,  Jan.  30,  1909. 

Rev.  C.  W.  Gallagher, 

Pres.  Maryland  College, 

Lutherville,  Md. 

Dear  Sir : — I  cannot  express  too  highly  my  appreciation  of  the 
character  and  high  standard  of  work  and  service,  and  of  the  many  new 
improvements  in  Maryland  College,  especially  for  this  year.  And  speak¬ 
ing  from  our  own  experience  I  know  of  no  school  that  has  better 
advantages  as  to  locality,  climate  and  character  of  work  than  Maryland 
College. 

The  above  expression,  Mr.  Gallagher,  is  just  how  Mrs.  West  and  I 
feel  towards  you  and  M.  C.,  and  you  are  privileged  to  use  the  same  in 
any  way  you  see  fit. 

With  kind  personal  regards,  I  am,  Yours  truly, 

Chas.  F.  West. 


Jacksonville,  Fla.,  January  23,  1909.

Dear  Doctor: — After  my  daughter  has  had  her  Christmas  vacation 
at  home,  and  has  now  returned  to  the  college,  I  am  desirous  of  express¬ 
ing  in  a  special  manner  both  my  wife’s  and  my  own  appreciation  of  the 
progress  mv  daughter  has  attained  at  your  college. 

With  the  kindest  regards,  Yours  truly,

Maryland  College, 

Lutherville,  Md. 

Dear  Doctor: — I  take  great  pleasure  in  expressing  my  opinion  of 
your  school  the  past  year.  I  am  highly  pleased  with  the  work  as  well 
as  the  care  and  interest  you  have  taken  in  my  daughter.  Though  this  is 
her  last  year,  I  certainly  wish  you  as  much  success  in  the  future  as  in 
this  year.  Very  truly  yours,

Dr.  C.  W.  Gallagher, 

Dear  Sir: — In  regard  to  my  opinion  of  Maryland  College,  I  can  very 
consistently  say,  and  take  pleasure  in  saying,  that  I  have  been  very 
much  pleased  with  your  school.  The  work  of  my  daughter  has  been 
very  satisfactory,  and  I  have  especially  noted  and  appreciated  the  per¬ 
sonal  interest  both  you  and  Mrs.  Gallagher  have  taken  in  the  girls’ 
welfare  and  pleasures.  I  hope  to  be  able  to  send  my  second  daughter 
to  you  when  she  has  finished  the  course  here. 

Very  truly, 

Mrs.  T.  L.  Moorehead.

Mr.  C.  W.  Gallagher,  President, 

Maryland  College  for  Women, 

Lutherville,  Md. 

Dear  Sir: — I  have  your  kindness  of  25th  inst.,  and  am  glad  to  say 
that  I  am  very  much  pleased  with  the  progress  that  my  daughter 
Merlyn  has  made  while  in  your  school.  She  finds  it  a  very  pleasant 
home  and  her  letters  are  full  of  enthusiasm  and  praise,  not  only  of  your¬ 
self  and  Mrs.  Gallagher,  but  of  all  her  teachers  and  surroundings. 

Yours  very  truly, 

W.  E.  Magner. 


Lima,  Ohio,  January  23,  1909. 


Dr.  C.  W.  Gallagher,  President : 

We  are  very  much  pleased  with  Maryland  College  and  especially 
with  the  work  and  progress  of  the  present  year.  The  work  of  a  school  is 
not  measured  alone  from  what  is  learned  from  text  books,  important  as 
that  is.  Something  more  is  needed.  There  must  be  an  influence  or 
moral  atmosphere  that  promotes  the  developing  of  character  and  womanly 
graces,  keeping  pace  with  the  acquiring  of  knowledge.  The  result  is  a 
girl  of  qualities,  who  is  valued  wherever  she  goes  and  in  every  circle. 
From  observation  and  otherwise  we  feel  your  work  maintains  this 
desirable  balance. 

Your  faithful  care  for  those  put  under  your  charge  and  the  more 
than  full  return  you  make  for  the  price  of  tuition,  etc.,  cause  your 
patrons  to  regard  themselves  as  your  debtors. 

Yours  truly, 

L.  T.  Furnas. 

Warren,  Ohio,  Jan.  29,  1909. 

C.  W.  Gallagher,  Pres. 

Maryland  College  for  Women, 

Lutherville,  Md. 

Dear  Sir: — In  reply  to  your  favor  of  the  16th  inst.,  it  gives  me 
pleasure  to  inform  you  that  I  am  highly  pleased  with  the  progress  my 
daughter  Florence  has  made  since  commencing  her  term  with  you  in 
September. 

I  found,  on  her  return  for  the  Christmas  holidays,  her  health  had 
greatly  improved,  having  gained  20  lbs.  Her  manner  and  general  de¬ 
portment  were  also  greatly  improved,  and  I  am  well  pleased  with  the 
advancement  made  in  her  studies. 

Hoping  she  will  continue  the  good  work,  and  wishing  you  success 
in  the  advancement  of  Maryland  College,  I  am, 

Yours  very  truly, 

Geo.  B.  DeVoe. 


Boise,  Idaho,  January  28,  1909.

President  Maryland  College, 

Lutherville,  Md. 

Dear  Doctor: — It  affords  us  great  pleasure  to  say  that  we  have  been 
more  than  pleased  with  the  work  of  Maryland  College.  The  improve¬ 
ment  in  our  daughters  last  year  was  entirely  satisfactory,  and  from 
information  received  from  them  and  reports  of  their  grades  and  course 
of  study  as  sent  by  you  for  this  year,  we  are  sure  the  college  has  been 
materially  improved  in  every  way.  Sincerely  yours,

Lutherville,  Md. 

My  dear  Doctor : — It  affords  me  great  pleasure  to  tell  you  how  much 
my  daughters  like  every  feature  connected  with  Maryland  College. 
Having  attended  other  well  known  institutions,  they  are  in  a  position  to 
judge  and  appreciate  the  advantages  of  your  college.  Their  advance¬ 
ment  and  improvement  in  all  lines  of  study  are  very  satisfactory. 

Sincerely  yours,

Cardiff,  Maryland,  February  18th,  1909. 

Dear  Dr.  Gallagher : — I  desire  to  express  my  high  appreciation  of 
the  Maryland  College. 

Your  efficient  management  and  the  large  improvements  you  have 
made  in  the  buildings  and  grounds  assure  a  ‘  forward  movement  ’  in  the 
history  of  the  college. 

My  daughter,  who  has  been  one  of  your  students  during  the  past 
year,  is  much  pleased,  and  has  made  good  progress.  She  expects  to 
return  next  year.  Very  truly  yours, 

(Rev.)  A.  Lewis  Hyde. 


It  may  be  said  with  confidence  that  not  only  is  it  the 
purpose  to  provide  the  best  conditions  for  the  students  of 
Maryland  College  that  can  be  obtained,  but  judging  from 
the  testimony  of  the  present  patrons  a  very  large  and  grati¬ 
fying  success  has  been  achieved.  The  catalogue  will  give 
a  complete  statement  of  the  courses  and  will  be  sent  to  any 
one  who  may  wish  to  examine  it.  Address, 

Rev.  C.  W.  GALLAGHER,  D.  D. 

Lutherville,  Maryland.
